Why do men, mostly men, have to use rough language to describe things that matter? To them? Like,'We've knocked the bastard off'? Why not do what women, mostly, do? They would say something like, 'It was such a thrill. The mountain is so lovely, even now.'

No. Men talk about the 'bastard'. And talk about relationships. Men talk about 'my old woman' or if she is young, 'my old lady'. If they're around women, they say, 'the wife'. Why? I could go on and on about the language they use, but I am a woman, mostly, and I can't do it.
